Installing Tivoli Storage Manager



Attention

If you intend to configure Tivoli Storage Manager in a Windows server cluster, see Chapter 2, Performing the Initial Configuration, before you install the Tivoli Storage Manager servers on the cluster node machines.

Before you install, ensure that you are logged on to Windows with a user name having administrator authority.

Do the following:

  1. Insert the TSM CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The setup program automatically starts (autorun) after you load the CD-ROM. If autorun is disabled, double-click on setup.bat in the CD root directory.
  2. The Setup Type dialog appears. Select Custom or Complete and click Next.
  3. The Installing Tivoli Storage Manager window appears. After the installation completes, the InstallShield Wizard Completed dialog appears. Click Finish.
  4. If prompted, choose whether to restart the computer now or later, and then click Finish. If you choose to restart your computer later, Read Me information is displayed.
    Note:We recommend that you restart the computer. When you restart the computer, Windows recognizes the TSM device driver and includes TSM in event logging. Also, the Server Utilities dialog appears so that you can immediately perform an initial configuration of your TSM server. See Chapter 2, Performing the Initial Configuration for details.


Attention

If you have problems starting the server after installation, go to your server instance directory, for example tivoli\tsm\server1, and check the initserv.log file for error statements:

If you cannot fix the problem and contact technical support, you may be asked for these files for problem determination.

The ADSM default installation directories changed for Tivoli Storage Manager. If you have previously used Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) to create a disaster recovery plan file, that file refers to path names that may no longer be valid. After you have installed Tivoli Storage Manager, you should back up your storage pools and database and create a new disaster recovery plan file. For the sequence and details of the procedure, see the "Using Tivoli Disaster Recovery Manager" chapter in the Administrator's Guide.

The following happens when you run the Server Initialization Wizard:

Installing Multiple Servers on a Single Machine

You may wish to install multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers on a single machine. This is necessary if you are configuring in a cluster. You may also want to run more than one server on a large machine if you have multiple tape libraries or a disk-only configuration. Use the Server Initialization wizard to install multiple Tivoli Storage Manager servers on a single machine (see Initializing the Server for details).
